Ben Affleck’s ‘The Town’ Tops Box Office

Ben Affleck’s crime drama “The Town” topped all films at the weekend box office according to early estimates from Hollywood.com.

“The Town” (Warner Bros.), a crime drama starring Affleck that he also directed and co-wrote, took in $23.8 at the domestic box office for the top slot. The Boston-based movie drew strong reviews, especially for co-star Jeremy Renner‘s turn as a unrepentant bank robber, and will likely be a player during Oscar season.
